If you want something with barbecue flavor but don’t have the time (or weather) to do any elaborate grilling, this Slow Cooker Barbecue Pork recipe is a great way to bring that sort of meal to your table. It is very low-hassle and can easily be refrigerated and re-heated as needed.

I enjoy my barbecue and like breaking out the grill when I can, but I realize that that’s not really an option all the time (even where I am now, there is a limit to outdoor grilling season, and I understand all too well how much “babysitting” that good charcoal grilling can entail). Thankfully, the Crock-Pot can make a really tender, savory meat dish indoors at any time of year and with minimal hassle. Even if this recipe isn’t 100% “authentic,” I have to say that it has great barbecue flavor.
